Figure 1: R. pubera meiosis.
From: Chiasmatic and achiasmatic inverted meiosis of plants with holocentric chromosomes
DAPI images representing different stages of meiosis. (a) Zygotene with paired (arrow) and unpaired (arrowhead) chromosomal regions. (b) Pachytene with completely paired chromosomes. (c) Diakinesis with one ring bivalent and four bivalents with one terminal/subterminal chiasma. (d) Metaphase I. (e) Anaphase I showing some individualized chromatids being pulled to either pole. (f) Prophase II with 10 individualized chromatids at each pole. (g) Prophase II showing chromatid pairs visibly connected by chromatin threads (arrow). (h) Metaphase II. (i) Late anaphase II. Size bar corresponds to 10 μm.
